Ahhh thanks for the heads up and yes ive tested the switches and work with all bulbs i have incascent and they do work with LEDS aslong as the load is higher than 15W (25W for the dimmer version)

they are electronic and i only have one lighting circuit why?

Hi all, i dunno if you can help me convert my existing wiring to achieve this: the live and lights can be on either switch or on same switch as long as they're on one of them :-)... I'm looking to put these switches in to replace hallway switch and landing switch which controls...

thanks again for the input and guidance, v.much appreciated :-)

ahh right ok! now i'm torn... this is what i have in place at the moment http://www.amazon.co.uk/Electrovision-Switched-Fused-Spur-White/dp/B00GOQY7M6 on the Main side of the switch is the feed (live and neutral) from the plug socket. on the spur side of the switch plate i have 2 red...

ok i understand the difference now the switch with the fuse is a fuse spur lowering the current whereas the fuse in the relay is just to protect the relay not change the current load

tell me about it, it's giving me an headache lol

the relay has a fuse in it - is this not the same then?

sorry DS, i may have mistaken what i meant i'm looking to replace the switch with FCU for the device above but the device above/inline relay has T5A Fuse, just wanted to make sure the difference in fuse Amps wasn't going to be causing/asking for trouble

I tell a lie - closer inspection it says T5A Fuse? is that ok or will i still need a 3A Fuse?

Starting a new post it's following on from this one: http://www.diynot.com/diy/threads/porch-outside-light-switch-wired-to-sockets-circuit.424852/ basically lights are wired to socket (get live feed from them) and the current switch is a standard on/off switch with a fuse unit and people...

i've decided not to use my fancy switch instead i've found something else which might be suited for what we want but just wanted to query this with you guys... i know i'm probably asking some really rookie questions but want to make sure i do it right i've got one of these...

Ahh problem is theres no room for additional box well tryin to abvoid it :) thanks for help so far pointing me in the right direction lol This is the fancy swith in question btw so far the ones i got fitted are impressive! :-D only pain is they need deep back boxes! 50mm! Worth it in the end...

[/url] Reuse what i have? No luckily its in an awkward location lazy reason/excuse for the fancy switch lol that n the dusk til dawn so wont need to mess! Sweet will take a look now! :-D thanks

wow! thanks for the quick responses that's ace!! So does that mean it doesn't need the fuse unit still in place? and i can do straight swap for new switch? if i do, do they do a seperate fuse unit, assume it'd need to be fitted between the light and the swich? im probably confusing /...

switch is like this but in plastic white

wonderiing if anyone could clarify whether this is best practice basically i'm in process of swapping all my light switches in my house for a certain type, they're remote controllable and can do all sorts like dusk to dawn features blah blah blah!... i've come to do the switch that...
